TOOLS for SCHOOLS by Advanced Bionics HARMONY® SOUND PROCESSOR Product Guide
The Microphone
The Sound Processor Microphone is located directly behind the base of the Earhook
positioned at the top of the Harmony Processor. Children may also use an integrated
Earhook and Microphone called a T-Mic®. (For more information on the T-Mic, see
the Earhook section of this guide.)
Telecoil
The Harmony Sound Processor contains a built-in Telecoil (T-Coil) option that can be
enabled and downloaded to any of the Processor’s three program locations. Contact
the child’s family or cochlear implant center to determine if this feature is active. In
order for the T-Coil to be effective, the cochlear implant user must have access to a
looped system or a hearing-aid-compatible telephone. This will allow the T-Coil to
receive the electromagnetic field generated by these devices. If the cochlear implant
user is attempting to use the T-Coil with a non-compatible audio device, they may
hear no sound or a low-level humming or buzzing noise. (See Audio Mixing for more
important information on this feature.)
NOTE: An external T-Coil can also be used with the Harmony Sound Processor and
the Direct Connect Earhook.

The Harmony Sound Processor is equipped with a built-in Light Emitting Diode
